David Ross, the chartered accountant who joined Charles Dunstone in founding Carphone Warehouse, is to be the eyes and ears of London mayor Boris Johnson on the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.

Ross has been tasked by Johnson to ensure that both the Olympics and Paraolympic games in 2012 'leave a lasting legacy.'

Johnson said: 'I promised Londoners I would ensure that the investment we are making in the 2012 Games offer the best value for money and David is just the man for the job. He is one of Britain’s leading entrepreneurs and brings years of business experience to the role. Having co-founded one of our most well known household names and turned it into a huge success, his skills will be vital in helping to deliver the legacy on which the success of the London Games will be judged.'
